Aerial photography
You may have seen your place of residence and your house from a bird's-eye view. This view is an asset for most people. Or have you ever imagined the information content of an aerial photograph? It does not make it difficult to identify buildings, roads, vegetation and even gully lids in the aerial view with simple aids.
Aerial images are taken from aircraft with cameras of the highest precision perennimised downwards. A specific area is flown in a north-south or east-west direction. In Lower Saxony, 1/4 of the state territory has been flown annually since 2007, and the demarcation follows the county boundaries.
Digital orthophotos (DOP) are produced by a special process from aerial photography. They are high-resolution, distortion-free images of the earth's surface and are calculated after a fly for the newly captured areas. The DOP data is delivered by default in TIFF data format. The geo-referencing has been carried out in the ETRS89/UTM system since 2006, but all data in the Bessel/Gauss-Krüger Strip 3 system is also kept. The files have a tile size of 2 km x 2 km, the data volume of the colored DOP (TIFF), ground resolution is 40 cm, 75 MB per raster file.
The responsibility lies with the State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying of Lower Saxony.
